• Visual C# SQl server authentication issue in C#

  Hi Guys, I have a tool written in C# which connects to a remote SQl server 2005. Its working fine while I use "Integrated Security". However, I want to login the database using another credential instead of using the currently credentials associated with the tool. The reason for this was because not all the users using this tool have permission to access the database. So, I need sort of impersonation to allow any user using this tool to connect to the database. Is there any simple and efficnet way to do this Thanks. Thank you very much for you guys suggestions. I have figured it out that the login failure was due to my confusing "windows authentication account" with " ...Show All

• Windows Forms Programmatically Scroll to point in DataGridView

  Is there any way we can programmatically scroll to a client point(which is not visible ) and bring it in the viewable area of the DataGridView This doesn't work if the cell is disabled and also if we have to bring column/row header in viewable area.  I think if I do it by manipulating the ScrollBar Value, it should work. Any idea how we can calculate the scrollbar value programmatically to bring a region ( rectangle ) in viewable area of the DataGridView control.   ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Applying InsertBreak to a style?

  Hi, Using Word 2003 and not fluent in writing macros. I'm trying to write/string together a macro that would insert a page break in front of a style called H1 if H1 is on an even page. I've tried dozens of different pieces of code and can't get it to work. What I've tried is to find all occurences of H1 and when found, applied this: Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakOddPage Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to do this fully, and haven't been able to find any example macros that would do even something a little bit similar, so that I could modify that to my needs. Any suggestions/help you can provide will be much appreciated!!! Thanks, Laura Laura, Sorry, I don't know why th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom transport - protocol transport

  Hi, I'm trying to understand the building blocks that go into a custom transport. For my specific scenario I need to build a custom TCP transport to support different message framing scenarios. However, I was wondering where one would implement high level protocol logic. For example, let's say you have simple text messages like: LOGON| REQUESTSOMETHING| HEARTBEAT| etc. Now, for example the client sends REQUESTSOMETHING| before a LOGON| thus you need to reject the message and every x seconds you want to send a HEARTBEAT| .. etc... where would this session logic be implemented Thanks, Tom I guess it's just because it's a sample. Have you looked at the UDP transport sample That has async implementations for ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to iterate through Windows Forms list box

  To find the selected items in a mulit-selection list box, I have tried foreach(ListItem item in myListBox.SelectedItems) but "ListItem" is not recognized. How can I identify each of the SelectedItems in order to extract their value Thanks in advance If you bind a datatable to the listbox, the items in the list are of the DataRowView type. To iterate through them you can use something like: foreach ( DataRowView rowView in listBox1.SelectedItems) { DataRow row = rowView.Row; //Process row... } If you're using typed datasets you can also cast rowView to a typed row...

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Listener Orientation issues

  Hi all, I'm experiencing some weird behavior using 3D Sound in a game I'm developing with a team for my final project in school. Here's the basic setup: We have a sound dll that we've created, so all the code snippets here is from that dll. The listener is attached to the camera, and is updated every frame (at the moment, until I get it working right) Everything is working the way it should except for two things. #1 The first thing is pretty major. The orientation for sounds is perfect when I initially join the level, with the sounds panning left and right and muffling behind the camera. The problem comes when I rotate the camera. If I turn the camera to the left 90 degrees, and play a sound that was in front of the original camera positi ...Show All

• SQL Server Accessing SQL Server 2005 stored procedures from Visual Studio.NET

  Hello, What permissions do I need to set on our new SQL Server 2005 test server so that I can see the stored procedures, views and tables from Visual Studio development environment. Example, I can see my older SQL Server 7 tables, edit them, write stored procedures, and so on. But while I can see the SQL Server 2005 and its databases, the folder underneath are empty and I cannot right-click to create New stored procedure or table. My guess is that there is security involved, if so, what do I set on the new server If I'm wrong, and it's something else entirely, please advise. Thanks!
